The Sunfish allows for plug-in solar power
I’ve talked with many homeowners who want to install solar panels, but are worried about the cost. But now you can go solar at a fraction of the cost hassle normally required to do so.
A new home solar kit is literally plug-in solar power. Called the “Sunfish,” all that is required is an electrical outlet and a large, southern facing window that gets regular exposure.
The Sunfish generates 1,000 watts of power, which can completely offset the energy requirements of a large appliance, such as your refrigerator. Or, you can get a smaller version that generates 200 watts of solar electricity – enough to power your lights, or maybe your laptop!
Plug-in solar power will be available in 2011, when the Sunfish goes on sale. The 1,000 watt version will cost about $3,000-4,000. Unlike home solar panels, the cost of the Sunfish can be recouped in a mere 4 years. After that, you’ll save several hundred dollars a year in electricity costs.
The Sunfish is a Clarion Technologies product. It weighs 200 pounds and takes 6-8 hours to fully install.

Can’t wait to see this on the market.
Interesting product very innovative. I am curious how it will do on the solar market, but it is good that consumers get more to choose from for providing there house of solar energy.
